Steve Sarkisian recaps first Texas scrimmage
Jacoby Jones Texas football For the first time in the Steve Sarkisian era, the Texas Longhorns held a scrimmage on Saturday that featured 100 plays and live tackling.
According to the new head coach, each position group had positive moments during that scrimmage and each position group made mistakes, but Sarkisian was happy overall with the way that the players responded and the team was able to avoid any injuries, always a positive development for a scrimmage.
With the opportunity for live tackling, Sarkisian was looking for the ability of his defenders to get players to the ground and for the team to avoid penalties, exchange issues at the quarterback position, and blown coverages.
